Beach on the lagoon, Cameleon Marival AI in Puerto Aventuras

This is the first photo that I took on my trip to Puerto Aventuras, Quintana Roo, Mexico in May 2003. Wonderful place to visit, but would have been nicer with a friend along, too. Loved this photo so much I had it as my wallpaper for a while. I think I am ready for another vacation to someplace similar, if not the same. I am afraid that the growth of Quintana Roo over the last couple of years would be too sad to see, particularly in Puerto Aventuras.

Ipanema Sunset

I have to blog this photo, even though I didn't take it. Takes me back to when I lived in Ipanema back in 1981-2. What a beautiful place to live, particularly if you like lots of people and highrises. Lived across the street from the beach on Avenida Viera Souto on the fifth floor. I don't expect to ever see this sight again, in person, but one never knows....

Ancient Rome zoom from atop a hill


Ancient Rome zoom, originally uploaded by liberalmind1012.

The best possible shot of Rome full of landmarks. The Pantheon, St. Peter's, the Colosseum...amazing. It took a while to realize what all is in the photo and probably still not totally aware.

Rome is my favorite city in the world. Spent 2 days there in 1965 and 5 days in 2001. I would love to live there, someday. So much history in the world's greatest city!

Ti amo, Roma!
